    All of a sudden I have no webcam and no internal or external microphone (including Line In).

    The webcam is not shown in Device manager, so I am guessing that the wecam itself is broken.

    Anybody have any ideas as to why webcam and all microphones should stop at the same time?

    I am wondering if it might be caused by a damaged cable that connects the webcam and mic to the motherboard as this is always moving whenever the LCD monitor is opened or closed.
